Aimless Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Unless something's changed the minimum spend is £5.
Cube Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Unless something's changed the minimum spend is £5. Odd, I got told by my PS3 to add £10 to my account for something. I think it was Uncharted 2 DLC.
dwarf Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Isn't Unch DLC just over a fiver, meaning the funds would have to be added in the above bracket (i.e. £10) ? That is unless you pay the exact credit.
dazzybee Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Uuuurm, the PSN Store? It's DLC. It's on the Store. Ah, I have it from the ps3 and for some reason thought it would move over. But actually that d'lest even make sense Downloading!
Daft Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 OMG, Gravity Rush/Daze with the Tron Legacy Soundtrack playing. Best thing ever.
Cookyman Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 You all tried out the Wipeout DLC yet? It's brilliant! :p
The Bard Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 The framerate is absolutely atrocious, but yeah, it's a bit of a trip to be able to play the HD and Fury tracks on a portable device.
Dcubed Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Ok, I'm playing Gravity Rush (up to chapter 7) and I'm not feeling it at all. Feels like a lovely tech demo for a mechanic that goes nowhere. Lovely visuals, music characters, world design etc but it feels like they ran out of gameplay ideas by chapter 2 (outside of a cool stealth part that was ruined by the game telling you exactly where to go and what to do) Speaking of which, the game's non linear nature is really a farce in many ways. Yeah, you can explore the environment to, mostly, your heart's content (until the invisible walls stop you) but you are given basically no freedom in how you complete the story missions - and the game actively stops you from approaching tasks in any way other than the prescribed path: What a joke, chapter 7 was in this respect, where one of the characters points out that there's an optional upgrade hidden somewhere in the area and that you don't have to get it, when the game makes it impossible to miss it! (as you go past it, the camera shifts to point towards the area where the upgrade is hidden and Kat says with text saying "I wonder what's over there?" - hardly very well hidden!) And while the game certainly doesn't play itself like most modern AAA console games, the COD style directional/distance markers, constant unavoidable text hints and general lack of difficulty take a lot away from the sense of discovery and exploration that I was hoping it would have. It's not a bad game at all, but it feels like they spent more time crafting the world than exploring the (really great!) gravity shifting and traversal mechanics that they came up with. Feels like such a waste, especially when all the enemies in the game are basically the same Unless things shake up later on (though from what I hear they don't), I'd say that this is one for those who value a story/character based experience over actual nuts and bolts gameplay mechanics. A shame that such lovely gravity mechanics go largely unexplored (the demo basically showcases almost everything the game has to offer, outside of a couple of extra bits like picking up objects to use as weapons) Edited June 25, 2012 by Dcubed
Daft Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I'm fucking loving it, tbh. I thought the demo was really dull, too. I think I just love falling around the place.
Aimless Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 As of tomorrow Persona 3 Portable will be £13.99 in the sale. You will buy it, no excuses!
Aimless Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 What part of "no excuses" weren't you clear on, Cube? Whilst it's conceivable that a person that doesn't like P3P exists, I've yet to meet one.
Magnus Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 I already own Persona 3 Portable on a disc and I've already played Persona 3: FES on the PlayStation 2. Do I still have to buy it?
The Bard Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Holy shit, I've been eyeballing that for ages. That is most excellent, finally it'll give me something to play on my Vita.
Dcubed Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 As of tomorrow Persona 3 Portable will be £13.99 in the sale. You will buy it, no excuses! I already own it. I think that's a good enough excuse not to buy it :p Mildly interested in TiTS though... (cough)
Hero-of-Time Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Mildly interested in TiTS though... (cough) I've heard nothing but good things about that game. Gaf always rants on about how good it is.
Magnus Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Trails in the Sky is very good once it gets going, but it takes about half the game before the story starts to get interesting. Very well-written (and well-translated), though. Still no word on the sequel.
Ike Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Still no word on the sequel. They are looking at a platform change which means either Vita or Steam most likely.
Dcubed Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Trails in the Sky is very good once it gets going, but it takes about half the game before the story starts to get interesting. Very well-written (and well-translated), though. Still no word on the sequel. I hear that it's all about the story/characters and that the gameplay is pretty average with nothing really that noteworthy about it; and the videos do nothing to dispel this feeling for me. Is that the case? (If so, I can see why GAF likes it so much...) Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, it's just not for me. I want a game, not a visual novel. Otherwise, there's nothing else in this sale that really grabs me. I've already got pretty much all I want anyway (MHFU, Tactics Ogre etc) Edited June 27, 2012 by Dcubed
Magnus Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Well, there's plenty of gameplay (though the characters do spend a lot of time talking at times), but it is very traditional. Battles take place on a grid, but they still essentially play out like they would in any other JRPG. There are different elements that are strong against different enemies, and you can create and place gems to give party members the magics you want, with some characters being better-suited for many weaker magics and others for a few stronger ones. I thought the gameplay was pretty good for what it was, but if you're not interested in the story and dislike the standard JRPG formula, there's not much there.

Not that I actively dislike a traditional JRPG turn based battle system, but I need something more interesting to hook me. Same problem as I had with the Dragon Quest games (except for DQ9, where the multiplayer got me into it). Lovely characters/world etc, but the core gameplay is dull as dishwater.
Ike Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Kinda tempted to double dip on Trials in the Sky, wouldn't mind a digital copy. Plus will be useful for my eventual Vita purchase...
Debug Mode Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Sony has launched their new tactic to increase Vita sales, street busking.
